The actual answer is they both suck. Russia, China, the US, France, Britain are all very guilty of destabilising and manipulating the government’s of developing countries. And the reasons are usually economic. Let’s not forget that most of the countries that have had coups recently have signed “cooperation agreements” with France. And that shouldn’t be seen as an excuse for China’s loanshark nonsense, or Russia’s shameless resource theft.

The developed (or “developed” in the case of Russia and China) world has a major problem interfering in other countries domestic affairs. Phrasing it as a capitalist Vs communist problem just ignores the root of the problem, which is human greed.
